ABSTRACT
We specify water vapor among combustion products as the target gas based on tunable diode absorption spectroscopy in this paper. The direct absorption signals of water vapor after being processed can be used to calculate the gas concentration distributions and temperature distributions of the combustion region of methane and air flat flame furnace via algebraic reconstruction technique (ART). In the numerical simulation, reconstruction region is a grid of five by five, we assume a temperature and water vapor concentration distribution of 25 grid, then simulate different direction laser rays which cross the combustion region, generating projection of each ray, by ART reconstruction algorithm, it turns out that the temperature and water vapor distribution reconstruction error is less than 1%. In the experiment, we chose a distributed-feedback laser to scan the target gas H2O7 153.722, 7 153.748 and 7 154.354 cm(-1) as absorbtion line pair to measure temperature of the flame, we consider the former two line as one absorbtion line. By Stages multi-directional scanning, the authors abtain 16 different regions distributin of temperature and gas concentration of furnace when we collecte 30 different angle data by spectral data processing, reconstruction algorithm, two absorbtion line ratio method for temperature sensing, finding the temperature and water concentration are higher in the center than in the edge, it turns out that the reconstruction algorithm is good enough to achieve the distributions of gas concentration and temperature of the combustion region.
ABSTRACT
Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) has been developed to realize the real-time and dynamic measurement of the combustion temperature, gas component concentration, velocity and other flow parameters, owing to its high sensitivity, fast time response, non-invasive character and robust nature. In order to obtain accurate water vapor concentration at high temperature, several absorption spectra of water vapor near 1.39 µm from 773 to 1273 K under ordinary pressure were recorded in a high temperature experiment setup using a narrow band diode laser. The absorbance of high temperature absorption spectra was calculated by combined multi-line nonlinear least squares fitting method. Two water vapor absorption lines near 7154.35 and 7157.73 cm(-1) were selected for measurement of water vapor at high temperature. A model method for high temperature water vapor concentration was first proposed. Water vapor concentration from the model method at high temperature is in accordance with theoretical reasoning, concentration measurement standard error is less than 0.2%, and the relative error is less than 6%. The feasibility of this measuring method is verified by experiment.
ABSTRACT
Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is a new gas detection technique developed recently with high spectral resolution, high sensitivity and fast time response. The second-harmonic signal of wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) is often used as the detection signal for gas concentration inversion. Using Simulink, a visual modeling and simulation platform, the authors simulated the WMS signal based on TDLAS, and got the second-harmonic signal by using lock-in amplifier algorithm. Digital orthogonal algorithm was studied in this paper. The relationship between second-harmonic signals and the modulation indexes was analyzed by comparing changes of second-harmonic under different modulation indexes, in order to find out the optimized parameters for second-harmonic detection.
ABSTRACT
In the present paper, the technology of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) in conjunction with the open path multi-pass Herriot cell and the new-style detection method of auto-balanced detection combined with wavelength modulation technology were used, and the concentration of CO produced in combustion of alcohol blowtorch was measured. It was found in the measured result that the change in CO concentration in the flame of alcohol blowtorch presented a stated periodicity in the process of combustion and the average concentration of CO was calculated to be 49.4 (10(-6) ratio by volume). The experiment is showed that with the conjunction of auto-balanced detection and the second harmonics detection method, adopting the open path multi-pass Herrriot cell to detect the concentration of CO in the combustion of alcohol blowtorch is accurate and contents the detection requirement. It was proved that the system made for measuring the concentration of CO in the flame of alcohol blowtorch in combustion establishes foundation well for developing on-line combustion monitoring based on TDLAS.
ABSTRACT
As one of the materials in organic chemical industry, acetylene has been used in many aspects of chemical industry. But acetylene is a very dangerous inflammable and explosive gas, so it needs in-situ monitoring during industrial storage and production. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology has been widely used in atmospheric trace gases detection, because it has a lot of advantageous characteristics, such as high sensitivity, good selectivity, and rapid time response. The distribution characteristics of absorption lines of acetylene in near infrared band were studied, and then the system designing scheme of acetylene on-line monitoring based on near infrared tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technology was discussed in detail. Moreover, the system of experiment measurement was set up and the method of signal detection and the algorithm of concentration inversion were studied. In addition, the sample cell with a path length of 10 cm, and the acetylene of different known concentrations were measured. As a result, the detection limit obtained reached 1.46 cm3 x m(-3). Finally the dynamic detection experiment was carried out, and the measurement result is stable and reliable, so the design of the system is practicable through experiment analysis. On-line acetylene leakage monitoring system was developed based on the experiment, and it is suitable for giving a leakage alarm of acetylene during its storage, transportation and use.
